Kassel as a business location
Professional translation Kassel: law, technology & medicine.
As the regional centre of northern Hesse and a high-speed rail hub in the middle of Germany, Kassel combines automotive and drive technology, solar and energy technology and raw materials – an environment with a high demand for technical translation. We assign the right specialist to every job.
Solar & energy technology
For SMA Solar Technology AG: data sheets, operating and conformity documents for inverters and energy systems for export.
Raw materials & mining
Around K+S AG: safety, environmental and trade documents along the international supply chain – terminology-checked and confidential.

Languages
Translators in Kassel for 70+ languages – in the right variant.
We translate in both directions; every job goes to a native-speaker specialist who gets the regional variant right – for public authorities, a sworn translator produces the certified version. The strongest demand in Kassel is for English, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Arabic and Italian.
Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Kassel is responsible for what?
Kassel is in Hesse, in the Kassel administrative region (northern Hesse). Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Kassel | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Kassel Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Regional Council of Kassel (Regierungspräsidium Kassel) (for documents issued within the Kassel administrative region) Steinweg 6, 34117 Kassel | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the apostille note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Kassel Frankfurter Straße 7, 34117 Kassel | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office (Standesamt) Kassel Obere Königsstraße 8, 34117 Kassel | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Responsible State School Authority (Staatliches Schulamt) in Hesse | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Responsible chamber / recognition office (e.g. IHK, HWK; for certain regulated professions the Regional Council of Darmstadt) | We provide the formally correct translation of your diploma, transcript and professional certificate. |
| Police clearance certificate for use abroad | Federal Office of Justice (BfJ), Bonn Adenauerallee 99–103, 53113 Bonn | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle registration, immigration office | Citizen services / Immigration Office of the City of Kassel or Kassel district Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 29, 34117 Kassel | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of steps for the apostille
If the receiving body requires an apostille, it belongs before the translation: it is affixed to the original document first, and we then translate the document including the apostille note.
Not sure whether and where you need an apostille? We review your case and tell you the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Kassel & northern Hesse
Kassel and our translators.
With around 205,000 inhabitants, Kassel is the regional centre of northern Hesse and, as a high-speed rail hub, lies in the geographic middle of Germany. The documenta city and the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe sit alongside strong industry: the Volkswagen plant in Baunatal as the group's largest components plant, SMA Solar Technology as a world market leader for solar inverters, and K+S AG in the raw-materials sector. From this environment we translate above all technical documentation, standards and contracts.
Beyond Kassel, we are active across northern Hesse: clients from Göttingen, Marburg and Fulda use the same digital route; towards Westphalia the region reaches as far as Paderborn.

Not necessarily. You upload your document online or send it by post; we deliver the finished translation nationwide, digitally and by post. Kassel has a local drop-off point for documents – in-person submission is possible by appointment.

Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Hesse?
A certified translation by sworn translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising bodies. Whether a foreign qualification is equivalent in content is decided by the competent recognition office – e.g. the responsible State School Authority for school certificates, or the chamber or the Regional Council of Darmstadt for regulated professions.
